Speeders in Schifferstadt: Police check speed and hand out fines!
The speed checks by the Schifferstadt police station on Monday caused some drivers to look surprised on the L524 in the Hillensheimer Hof area. Between 9:45 a.m. and 11 a.m., officers kept a vigilant lookout for traffic offenders. They discovered that nine drivers had exceeded the maximum permitted speed of 70 km/h. One driver in particular caught the eye and was measured at a speed of 100 km/h. This could cost him a fine of 150 euros and a point in Flensburg, which shows how seriously the police take such violations.
After the intensive check on the L524, which was intended to increase traffic safety, the officers moved on to the K30 near the passenger parking lot. Between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. a total of seven other road users were caught driving too fast. The police also paid attention to the seat belts - a driver was driving without wearing a seatbelt, which could cause additional trouble.
The background to speed controls
Why do the police even carry out such speed checks? A corresponding article from the fine catalog shows that this primarily serves to increase road safety and prevent accidents. Because as we know, even a small excess of speed can have fatal consequences.
Depending on the technology, different methods are used to record changes in speed. From radar systems that use electromagnetic waves to light barriers and modern laser measuring devices - all of these tools help the police ensure road safety. The legal framework is clear: speeding is punished according to a catalog of fines that provides for different fees for within and outside of town.
Fines at a glance
| Exceedance (km/h) | Fines in urban areas | Fines outside of town |
|---|---|---|
| Until 10 | 30€ | 20€ |
| 11 – 15 | 50€ | 40€ |
| 16 – 20 | 70€ | 60€ |
| 21 – 25 | 115 € (1 point) | 100 € (1 point) |
| 26 – 30 | 180 € (1 month driving ban) | 150 € (1 month driving ban) |
| 31 – 40 | 260 € (1 month driving ban) | €200 (1 month driving ban) |
Novice drivers in particular should be aware that violations of more than 21 km/h are considered an A violation, which extends the probationary period and can result in attending an advanced seminar. If you don't fasten your seatbelt, you'll also be in legal trouble.
Police will continue to carry out regular checks to ensure that all road users are traveling safely and compliantly. Because when it comes to road safety, you know that there is something to it - only those who follow the rules can drive safely.
